Directions

1
Separate eggs, chill egg whites. Knead 250 g flour, 125 g butter, 125 g sugar, egg yolks, brandy and 1 tablespoon cold water to a smooth shortcrust pastry. Wrap in foil and chill for about 30 minutes. Wash cherries, drain well, remove stalks, remove stones and place on a sieve. Grease the moulds (approx. 7 cm Ø, approx. 3 cm high) well. Roll out the shortcrust pastry on a floured work surface in a thin layer of approx. 3 mm.

Gradually cut out approx. 18 circles (each approx. 9 cm Ø). Line the moulds with the dough and press well to the edge of the wave. Beat 3 egg whites until stiff, adding 50 g sugar at the end. Cream 125 g soft butter, icing sugar and bitter almond oil. Stir in almonds and 75 g flour briefly. Fold in 2-3 portions of beaten egg white. Mix cherries and jam. Put 2-3 cherries in each tartlet and cover with macaroon mixture. Spread the rest of the cherries on top. Place the tartlets on the grid of the oven. Bake in the preheated oven, lowest level (electric oven: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for about 35 minutes. Let the finished tartlets cool down for 10-15 minutes, then remove them from the tartlet and let them cool down on a cake rack.
